  1. That photograph amplifies the importance of the city finally zoning off the mountain from further nip and tuck development. But the current administration has neither the balls nor the principles to do such thing, especially as long as possibilities linger.

  2. Ravenscrag looks pretty amazing from the vantage point. Take away the soccer players and the goal post and you wouldn’t even know it’s 2008.

  3. Though a few different concerns have expressed interest in developing this big area, it’s unlikely it’ll ever be anything but a field. The concrete slab that lids the reservoir isn’t strong enough to support any kind of construction. It’ll probably remain a nice recreational field. Thank goodness. With developers constantly chipping away at Mount Royal and other green spaces in town, it’s comforting to know that there’s a place downtown that’s unfriendly to buildings.
